Love Over a Fortnight

Love over a fortnight, who would have known
Our eyes met once, that's all it took to show
Your soul that's lost, so gentle and meek
A heart that's broken, solace it seeks

Your glance, your laugh; I'll always remember
I've accepted the chances of you and I were slender
A little naive and proud, I always have been
To believe in a side of you none have seen

You came fast as a hurricane to my heart
Swiftly you left, I wish we stayed at the start
Had you known this, would it have made a difference?
Once eager hellos, ended in a few sentences

Yet if I see you someday, it won't be a regret
It's passion, it's almost silly, it's unrequited
With a smile, one day I'll reminisce when
You taught my heart to beat faster again
